Chapter 1754: Chapter 1754: Are All Indispensable?

Xue Yan laughed, “Then what do you want to learn?”

Jiang Yue also had a smile on her lips, looking at her adorable baby.

“Hmm…” Xue Yang tilted her little head, thought for a moment, then said, “I don’t want to learn anything, I just want to play every day.”

“That won’t do,” Xue Yan laughed. “You must have the ability to protect yourself. Reading books and practicing martial arts are both essential.”

Xue Yang seemed not to understand, confusion apparent in her small eyes, “But won’t you protect me, Father? My elder brother and sister will protect me too, and everyone at home will protect me.”

“Even if we can protect you for a moment, we can’t protect you for a lifetime; even if we could protect you for a lifetime, we can’t be by your side every day. You’ll inevitably grow up, and it’s better to have the ability to protect yourself. There’s nothing more reassuring than being able to defend oneself, and it will put us at ease too,” Xue Yan explained patiently.

...

Xue Yang was still young and didn’t know what a lifetime meant, but she could very well understand the concept of growing up. After all, her elder brother and sister were older than her, and mother and father were older than her siblings, and eldest uncle and second uncle were even older than her parents, while grandparents were older than all of them. With a pained expression on her small face, she said, “Do I really have to learn? But it’s really tiring…”

Unable to help but smile, Xue Yan wiped her hands and rubbed her baby’s somewhat naive little head, “Tiring or not, our baby has to bee strong, understand? This year you’ll start with martial arts to build a foundation. Next year, when you’re five, we’ll send you to the academy to study.”

Xue Yang was quite astute and didn’t say anything immediately. Instead, she turned her little head to look at her mother. Seeing that her mother had no intention of speaking, it was clear that the decision was made. Only then in a milky voice she conceded, “Alright then.”

Only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchange a look.

Once their baby went to the academy, they would often need to stay in town. Their baby wasn’t very old, after all, so they would still need to take care of her to some extent.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

“Yan Yan, go take a look!” Xue Yang was in a hurry, her little legs immediately pattering as she ran out to see if someone from her family had e back.

Upon seeing Xue Bai, she began jumping and shouting at the entrance of the yard, “Mother, Father, Brother Bai Bai is back!”

Then, she ran towards Xue Bai, “Brother Bai Bai— Brother Bai Bai—”

Seeing little Xue Yang running over, Xue Bai stopped his horse before reaching the house. He quickly dismounted, picked up Xue Yang as she rushed towards him, and let her sit on one arm while he led the horse with the other hand, walking towards home.

“Brother Bai Bai, how e you’re back?” Xue Yang asked cheerfully.

“I’ve e back to tell the family something,” Xue Bai said with a simple smile.

“You always have something to tell, will it make everyone unhappy again?” Xue Yang asked.

“Smart as a whip,” Xue Bai teased, flicking her nose.

At those words, Xue Yang puffed up with pride, “Because Yan Yan is smart!”

Xue Bai laughed.

Just then, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came out from the yard. Normally, their Xue Bai hardly ever came back alone; it was either with one of the kids or another. They obviously knew something was up, so they stopped shucking corn and came out.

Seeing his youngest uncle and Little Aunty, Xue Bai felt somewhat embarrassed and unconsciously scratched his head while holding the reins.
